This ordinance modifies the requirements for rental residences affected by the residential rental property lead-based paint hazard control pilot project. Under the pilot project ordinance, after the department determines that lead safe maintenance of all surfaces except windows has been properly performed, the health department will pay all of the cost of lead hazard reduction on windows. This ordinance specifies that the health department will also pay all of the cost of stabilizing lead-based paint hazards on storm windows and screens that are in sound working condition, provided that lead safe maintenance of all surfaces except windows has already been properly performed.
 
The pilot project ordinance requires all units to have intact storm windows that are in sound working condition. This ordinance specifies that such storm windows are required for all unit windows in habitable rooms, and further requires all storm windows and screens to be free of lead-based paint hazards.
BODY:
The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:
 
Part 1. Section 66-47-5-g of the code is repealed and recreated to read:
 
66-47. Lead-based Paint Hazard Control Regulations.
 
5.
 
g.      All unit windows in habitable rooms shall have intact storm windows that are in sound working condition. All storm windows and screens for the unit shall be free of lead-based paint hazards.
 
Part 2. Section 66-52-2-a of the code is repealed and recreated to read:
 
66-52. Funding Assistance.
 
2.
 
a.      After the department determines that lead safe maintenance of all surfaces except windows has been properly performed, a state-certified lead abatement contractor shall perform standard treatments, as described in s. 66-47-5-b to f. The department shall pay the cost of the portion of standard treatments described in s. 66-47-5-b to f, and there shall be no cost to the owner for that portion of standard treatments. The department shall also pay the cost of stabilizing lead-based paint hazards on storm windows and screens that are in sound working condition, and there shall be no cost to the owner for this work. The maintenance of non-window surfaces may be conducted by persons who are not state-certified lead supervisors or lead workers approved by the department. Attendance by such persons at department training classes on lead safe maintenance practices is strongly recommended but not required. All such work shall be performed in accordance with essential maintenance practices.
